Just my luck; when I rolled through Tower, Minnesota, looking forward to checking out another train museum, it was closed. I guess I'll have to come back someday!

After checking out the church that caught my eye as I was driving through, I decided to take a walk around and snap a few pictures of this town that is slowly fading away.

A red brick train station building in Strong City under a clear blue sky. The building has white trim and a small front parking area.
